Create compelling mobile apps using the best of Google

The Mobile Cloud Era

Mobile devices backed by scalable machine intelligence in the cloud is the defining computing paradigm of our time.
Modern tools require special consideration for the challenges developers face on mobile: serverless capabilities, a cloud-first data model
capable of persisting data even when the device is offline, low-latency access to media anywhere in the world, and
real-time data synchronization across all mobile platforms. Cloud Platform gives developers comprehensive
solutions with a focus on ease of use and speed – all without having to manage infrastructure.

Agility Enabled by Serverless and Real-Time

From a ridesharing car that blips toward a user on her smartphone to real-time dashboards in mobile apps and the web,
users no longer tolerate stale information. Modern tools should handle the complexity of real-time applications on behalf
of developers. Firebase is a unified app platform for iOS, Android, and the web that lets you build better mobile apps and grow your business. Without requiring any server-side management, Cloud Functions lets you write single-purpose functions that respond
to cloud events. Serverless solutions like Firebase and Cloud Functions let mobile developers focus on what’s
important: a great client-side user experience, and shipping fast.

Mobile Backend at Google Scale

Today’s best apps blend client and cloud into a single platform, creating highly responsive experiences for users
backed by powerful computing resources remotely. Cloud Platform helps you strike this balance easily for your mobile
backend, where non-interactive tasks get offloaded to Cloud Platform, resulting in improved battery life on mobile,
lower bandwidth usage, and a snappy client experience on mobile.

With App Engine, focus only on differentiating, high-level business logic using your
favorite language. If you’re doing container-based development, try Kubernetes
Engine powered by Kubernetes to automate deployment and
scaling of your containerized applications. For developers with existing or legacy projects who want the full control of bare
VMs, Compute Engine offers high performance VMs with industry-leading pricing and customizability. Use standard REST APIs or
try the open source gRPC project for a lightweight data format used internally by engineering teams at Google.
